SYNOPSIS

10       pampick
11
12       image_sequence_number ...
13
14       Minimum  unique abbreviation of option is acceptable.  You may use dou‐
15       ble hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options.   You  may  use
16       white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from
17       its value.

DESCRIPTION

22       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
23
24       pampick reads a PNM or PAM image stream as  input.   It  picks  certain
25       images  from  the stream and copies them to a new image stream on Stan‐
26       dard Output.
27
28       You identify the images to pick by sequence number within  the  stream.
29       Each  image_sequence_number  is  a  decimal  sequence number, with zero
30       meaning the first image.
31
32       The arguments must be in increasing  order,  without  duplicates.   The
33       results are undefined if they are not.  (There are a number of enhance‐
34       ments that might be made in future releases that  would  make  whatever
35       pampick  does  today when you break this rule change).  pampick outputs
36       the images in the same order as they appear in the input.  If you spec‐
37       ify  no  sequence  numbers,  pampick outputs nothing.  If you specify a
38       sequence number that is beyond what is in the input, pampick fails with
39       an error message to that effect.
40
41       pampick  always  reads  the entire input stream.  (This is helpful when
42       the input stream is a pipe and whatever is feeding the  pipe  would  be
43       upset if it filled up or broke).
44
45       To see how many images, and what kind, are in a stream, use pamfile.
46
47       To  extract  all  the images in a stream into separate named files, use
48       pamsplit.
